I have a swiftech mc-462a and it's a decent. Buti want more cooling and noise is not an issue...should i change to a delta fan? what size? Connect it to PSU or to the mobo?

Check these out.........

Sidewinder Computers

They have a nice table of high output 80mm fans
Definitely connect to PSU

Hope this helps.....

I have a 431 W PSU...which one do you think i should get?

You can power any of them.
The best one only needs 1 amp at 12 volts.

Specifications: 80x80x38mm, -->80.16<-- CFM @ 5700 RPM,
52.5 dBA, 10.80w .90 Amp, 12v DC, 4-pin Molex connector.

Unless you have a large number of drives, HDs/ CDROMs etc,
I don't think you have a problem.

If you get the BIG ONE let me know how loud it is.
I have a Swiftec too.

I only have one HD, burner and dvd, but i got 6 case mod fans...4 of which are connected to PSU...the other 2 are connected the mobo. Still okay...how does that massive thing fit on the swiftech...do you need some kind of adapter? Does it come with it. I'm thinking about the FFB0812EHE...you know...the craziest highest, loudest one...should i give it go? I want more cooling!!!

I take it you have a Enermax EG465P power supply?
If so you have a 20 amp output @12 volts.
If you allow for 1.5 amps x 3 (4.5 amps for the drives)
and .5 amps(average) x 6 (3 amps for the fans)
I think you could power another fan.......

All the fans are 80mm they will bolt right on.

FFB0812EHE (the off the charts one)or FFB0812SHE...???

I'm thinking of the very last one on that page...too crazy...remember noise is not a problem to me.
